Ingredients
  

For Peach Salsa

  • 4 ripe but firm peaches diced (about 2 cups) - substitute with nectarines if unavailable
  • 1/2 small red onion finely diced (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and minced (adjust for heat preference)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper

For Mango Salsa

  • 2 ripe mangoes diced (about 2 cups) - Ataulfo or Kent varieties recommended
  • 1/3 cup red bell pepper diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1 small jalapeño seeded and minced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin optional, for a warm undertone

Instructions
 

  • Select fruits that are ripe but still firm. Wash thoroughly, then dice into 1/4-inch cubes.
  • Finely dice the onions and prepare the jalapeños (remove seeds and membrane for milder salsa, keep some for more heat). Chop cilantro and other herbs.
  • In a medium glass bowl, gently fold together your diced fruits, aromatics, and fresh herbs. Pour the lime juice evenly over the mixture, then add sweetener and seasonings.
  • Toss gently with a silicone spatula to preserve the integrity of the fruit pieces.
  • Cover your salsa and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and develop complexity.

Notes

Store fruit salsas in airtight glass containers rather than plastic, as the acidity can interact with plastic over time. Keep refrigerated at or below 40°F for maximum freshness and food safety.
For best texture, consume peach salsa within 2 days and mango salsa within 3 days.
These salsas are excellent with chips, on grilled chicken, fish, or as a topping for whole grain toast with ricotta or cottage cheese.
